Howdy!

Having been a long time user of mutt, I find that gmail's "threading" is seriously lacking. Unless I've missed something (and I may have), it simply groups messages based on the subject line. Change the subject and gmail thinks that it's a different "conversation". Further, gmail obscures the tree structure in the thread. You can't readily tell which message was replied to, making it hard to keep track of a heavily branched thread.

On the other hand, I agree with the remainder of the positives. The lack of true threading is a sore subject with me.

Michael
